The Peres Centre for Peace and Innovation was founded in 1996 by the ninth president of Israel, Shimon Peres, and is today considered a leading non-profit NGO. The center, together with its partners, develops impact-driven, innovative programs that span fields that include medicine, agriculture, and entrepreneurship. The purpose of these projects is to unite local, regional and international parties, with the view of fostering peace in Israel and its surrounding territories.

Batia sits on the centre’s international board of governors, a role which indicates both monetary and more holistic support of the organisation and its mission. Batia was also involved in the launch of the UK’s ‘Shimon Peres Friends Circle’ and oftentimes opens up her home in London for their gatherings.
